Beloved thriller "Chapelwaite" cancelled after one season, leaving fans heartbroken

Emotional message from show boss delivers the disappointing news

The writer of the beloved thriller "Chapelwaite" has penned an emotional message to fans, informing them that the show will not be returning for a second season. The series, which is available to stream on Paramount Plus, is a spooky tale inspired by a Stephen King story.

A haunting story comes to an end

"Chapelwaite" follows the family of Captain Charles Boone as they move back to their ancestral home in Maine after the tragic death of their mother at sea. However, upon their return, they find themselves unwelcome in the local town, facing suspicion and superstition at every turn.

Ax falls on season 2

Writer and co-creator Jason Filardi sadly announced that a second season of the show had been axed. In a heartfelt message, he wrote, "I'm afraid Captain Boone's story ends on that beach of weathered, Maine sand. There will be no season 2. Thank you to all the Chapelwaite fans!"

Fans express their sadness

Fans of the show were devastated by the news, expressing their disappointment and frustration. One fan lamented, "Well this SUCKS! I just rewatched it, and remembered how good it was and how much I loved the show. Was excited for the next season. What a giant bummer."

Another fan exclaimed, "BOOO!!!! That was one of only two shows I watched on EPIX/MGM Plus. I've been waiting for season 2 to come out this past October. It stinks that a show this good ends after one season."

Many fans shared their disappointment, with one viewer stating, "Very disappointing. It was one of the best shows on TV and warranted a continued story line. We were all waiting for it. What happened?"

Despite the cancellation, fans praised the co-creator and the cast for their work on the show. One fan said, "Thank you and the rest of the stellar cast and crew so very much, for giving us a season 1 to always cherish and remember!"
